Fan plug problem

Ok, so I am working on getting this track bike together, and today I find a problem with the wiring. For some reason, the socket on the lower rad for the fan is a two prong plug, but the one on the harness is a three prong. Am I missing something?
Also, what is this bare wire?

Didn't realise they were different! Now I'm learned. But honestly, ditch the fan for the track

That is what is going to happen. Any ideas on that black frayed wire?

would it be damaging to my bike if i left the fan on all the time? (the previous owner made a switch to control my fan)

Naw, it will just wear out the fan faster.
